Quick take
Gas-powered ice auger with stainless steel blades for drilling holes in ice.
This 8-inch gas auger from Eskimo runs a 33cc two-cycle engine and carries stainless steel blades with a centering point for re-drilling old holes. A fingertip throttle, mitten-grip recoil and foam-covered handlebars make it workable in gloves on cold mornings. It suits ice anglers who want a lighter power auger to open up fishing holes quickly.
Best for
- Ice fishing when you expect to drill many holes
- High-traffic ice where re-drilling old holes is frequent
- Anglers tired of hand auger fatigue
Skip if
- You drill only a few holes per season; hand auger is quieter
- You need portability on long walks across ice
Strengths
- Stainless steel blades hold their edge longer than steel
- Quantum centering ring aids re-drilling in old holes
- Fingertip throttle gives precise power control
Trade-offs
- Gas engines require mixing fuel and regular maintenance
- Loud noise disturbs other ice anglers and can startle fish
- 25 lb weight requires some strength to handle on slippery ice
